  1. Did Flash lose his members pass or something?
  2. No he didn't (BUT of course he is more than welcome to) , I was just gunna put him in with BRODIE LINDENNY only, to give him something, then decided better give everyone something with a double chance, for some entertainment. Hard to Pick a Winner from that Cambridge BOAY Cup line-up ? lol.
  3. Oh yes that is MAJESTIC MAN that is (hopefully) going to Victoria to WIN the Great Southern Star. One of the richest trots prizemoney in Australasia. Your Cambridge man J Dickie won it with' Speeding Spur' not that long ago. Stent won for NZ also.
  4. A Small competition for the regulars. Gammalite has nominated 2 horses per person for tonight at Cambridge (with their race Number) 3 - 2 -1 points (1st,2nd and 3rd) so the most you can get is 6 POINTS.

  5. Cambridge Day is on Karrots, Davis, Roman, Ritchie, Gammalite and Brodie all in so Far. CHIEF please Chuck some tips in (as like myself you are into thoroughbreds so I'm a chance of beating your score ...lol ....the rest are kicking my butt so far lol, I need a confidence boost !!!) Karrots if possible , can you Post the 'Experts" tips. that you did the other 2 weeks of Cambridge ? There are NO EXPERTS in OZ hahaha. so can't see them tips here. Any BOAY posters can post tips and become an expert overnight !! com'on Galah give it a go.?
  6. Trojan horse ? I guess that means Full of bad guys? who want to plunder and kill that which is not theirs ? Better to keep them out then. JJFlash is just a flash in the pan (like all of us) , but does know some harness racing stuff though , why people want to get personal is a mystery ,but he does post elsewhere , does see the greatness of the Allstars efforts over the years. (a good thing) . BUT did attack Chief with shit, .... Fair enough Karrots >>>>> Goodbye JJ in that case.
  7. Well done to Phil and Bev Williamson today , and son ? Brad 3rd for the trifecta in Race 4 at Southland today. ($124 in Qld too !) Icons of the sport in NZ , and they are going so well with Globe's horse Majestic Man too. Today ''Funky Monkey ', Bred and raced by the family Matriarch Bev herself !! got the chocolates . Well done Bev !!!!!!!!!! and congrats NZ on yet another fine harness racing family. Who says trotting is doomed ? with people like that. Good to goooo......
  8. The girl driving on MAGIC SIGN would know for Sure and certain. Get someone to ask her. Often in a race the horse behind you is hitting your helmet hard, Sometimes had knees in the back and PLENTY of slobber and snot down the back of your colours from behind by the trailing horse !! part of the Fun !!! Check out race 3 at Albion Park yesterday. winning 79 year old driver , got 3 week suspension , talk about HITTING a WHEEL, could of killed poor Donohue . STEWARD GAMMALITE would of banned Stariha for life.
  9. Well the way that horse propped when it galloped and wiped out the field (4 runners anyway) He is lucky to get away with a trial request, and not be barred. Was pretty dangerous.
  10. hahaha yeah Trump tweets were great for a chuckle , like BOAY !! (poss less Forbury input which is not very funny) perhaps you should kiss and make-up with 'JJ Flash' and 'Happy Sunrise' (who distanced into an 'Unhappy Sunset' it seems lol) and they can 'chuckle on ' and we learn something new. lol.....and create interesting debate. Afterall , according to Forburyretarddriver , Brodie is a Spastic who can't read . I personally don't believe that for a second. .. Fake News possibly??? lol...
  11. hahahehe yes quite a Cult following, like Phar Lap, also in trouble when going to Mexico.
  12. Well the Don is $2.30 on Sportsbet in the first at Northern Southland coming up soon. The young horse proving to be Much More Popular than his namesake !!!! Will he show the same ability to conquer the world ? or lose the plot ?
  13. Definitely stupid punters to back any non winners IMO. No Driver tells the stewards They hit a Wheel. Thats just saying you're guilty and risking penalty to yourself. Sometimes you're not even sure if you touched the wheel or not if wrestling with horse like Hurrell was. i.e could be 'light' brushing/ contact. Enough to scare your horse on occasion. The young lass who was driving MAGIC SIGN in front of Spitfire could tell them , but if not asked No Need to say anything , she did nothing wrong.
  14. Brodie, you're sure worried about your old mate Spitfire. Your observation is actually poor of the moment he galloped. Blossom, Chief and myself (in detail) explained it earlier in this thread for you, when you asked what made it gallop. Don't forget, As the pace quickens a horses legs stretch 'further in front' of his head and body , than at a slower speed. Spitfires legs were in line with the inside wheel in front of him. I agree with Chief in that, this is a driving error, probably more than Spitfires fault.
  15. That Ashburton trot had a row 5 wide of gallopers 300m out !! was very funny ! was like Ellerslie. Pete Mcmullen ( You don't have to debate with FORBURY about a Top driver there) just won now at Albion, easily on the horse he got the Suspension on , KINGOFTHESTARS . Stupid Punter Gammalite had settled for the $160 earlier and didn't follow on for the $4.50 divi here. talk about having winners shoved under your nose and missing out. blah... have a great evening !!
  16. Well the winner there doesn't agree Brodie, Nor do people who like big odds (80-1 winner today) Nor does Gammalite, But I am used to it , as mostly Albion is 1 mile racing. Trainers wouldn't agree either. You can race a horse week to week with mile racing. Some of those 2400m races today at Ashburton would leave runners 'Flat" to say the least and performing poorly next time. Today I picked 1 out for a bet . BoomChuckaLucka with Pete McMullen back from the most crooked 3 week suspension I've ever seen in my life. KNEW he would be angry , first drive back. Straight to the front 1.55 mile , easy as you like R4 just a little while ago. $100 win , thank you very much Pete. !! lol
  17. well better luck nek time That was very disappointing for the NATION with the Spitfire Gallop (and the 2 blokes behind him in the run lol) So By All Means Roman and Whiplash put in Tips on Thursday for CAMBRIDGE , as have discarded todays Ashburton form , And look forward to the CAMBRIDGE challenge on Thursday !!!!! all welcome to join in on Homepage
  18. Well some patient driving there in R8 by Sam Ottley. I give up, ..was thinking this is craziness having 14 horses in a mile race. (should be 10 to give them all a chance) 5 Back on the fence as they left the back straight was SENORITA MARGARITA , seemed no hope, then it pops out wide in the home straight and wins. Seemed impossible task with the big field. Just shows how good it is to have those tracks with a long run home like Ashburton to give them a chance from the back of winning.
  19. Look at the bright sides, still half the card to go, Whiplash has only One point lead on you, and........ GAMMALITE and KARROTs North Island tips on Thursday won't have to work as hard to catch you now !!
  20. Excuse my butting in on your question to Blossom. I believe you are correct . The pace increased quite sharply as Daggy Lamb took the lead and Spitfire trying to excelerate with them , got his own Spitfire head inside the drivers head in front of him , therefore his strides as they quickened were longer and in line with the now trailing horses wheel. BANG ! and gallop gallop gallop. ........
  21. Today its Roman and Whiplash in a Head to head at Ashburton. Spitfire has FAILED to get the points for Roman , (spitfire showing consistantancy and missing out again) so Whiplash now has the advantage from the point from SEAPRIS and Ben Hope in the 3rd. Cheering their runners on while in 'Lock-Down' In Brissy , (actually I think the lockdown came off last night )but I haven't finished my Bottle yet, so stuff it , staying in and watch some trots lol.... Roman under the Whip now ?? but can he lash back lol
  22. Excellent ! Roman is going like MIGHT and POWER and cut loose in the lead. He has put in ASHBURTON selections for today on the Homepage and gone with the mighty 'Spitfire' !! Looks like his 'Day' today then. If you prefer Ashburton to Cambridge (and would like points from the Spitfire potentially lol) get in now on the HOMEPAGE with your pick the card selections . Mikey, Milo, Brodie, Whiplash or anyone keen for the challenge.
  23. Current Leader ROMAN doing a great job out in front on points. This weeks page is up on the HOMEPAGE for Cambridge Thursday already. A Change is made to help the SouthIsland BOAY tipsters !!! IF you want to put in ASHBURTON today selections or Northrn SOUTHLAND tomorrow (where you get 2 extra races) INSTEAD of CAMBRIDGE , feel free to do so. Put your selections for ONE of those 3 meetings , here or on the homepage under the Cambridge Week 3 thread. Good luck All (and Spitfire too !!)
  24. A Good idea by Karrots is to Have some Southern Meetings as a lot of the BOAY posters from there. We have had 2 Cambridge meetings already. Therefore if you want to GO FOR THE POINTS at Ashburton today, or Southland tomorrow (so you can pick the mighty SPITFIRE lol) That will be fine INSTEAD of doing Cambridge selections . pick one meeting for your selections. Points will be tallyed after the Cambridge meeting. ..
  25. A new epic to rival The Lord of the Rings !! movie named ' Spitfire Trump , Heart of a Nation ' Starring the 2 fine harness horses 'Spitfire Aveross 'and 'Donald Trump' (in at Southland tomorrow) , guest appearance by the Real Donald Trump (now out of a job) , Brodie as Brodie, Brad Pitt on the washboard, Mark and Nat as the 'evil antagonists' and introducing CHIEF as the hero driver , Can he get Spitfire Home 1st ?
